franken pre2 to ATT pre3

Hello everybody, I apologize in advance if this thread is a repeat thread. I just bought an ATT Pre3, I was on Sprint with a Franken Pre 2. What do I need to do to switch over, I'm not really worried about the apps since I don't use them anyways. All I want is my contacts and my pictures transferred. I can save the pictures on the computer so that's not an issue. So that just leaves contacts. Also I have Youmail visual voicemail installed, how do I transfer that? Anything I need to do to prep my phone before activating? I would really appreciate all the help. Thank you so much. P.S I love the way the Pre3 feels in my hand. Which also makes me sad that we won't see anymore of that.

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the help. My contacts are saved with palm profile, last time they all came back. Should I still save them on computer to be safe? And is that the only thing? I don't have to worry about which version the phone is running before signing in to my profile? Specifically I want to know if my TP would get erased if I activate Pre3?

I'd go ahead and backup your contacts, just for good measure. The procedure, which Rnp linked, is very straightforward and the CSV file can easily be imported into Google contacts or MS Outlook. Make sure to backup the "USB" partition, as that will have all of your pictures, documents, and videos. Just connect the phone to your computer, put the phone in mass storage mode, and copy what you need.

 Open phone dialer on PRE or Pixi
 Type ##66623#
 Click on Export
 This creates the export file (.CSV) .The more contacts you have the longer it takes
 Connect your USB cable to the computer and also to the PRE when it prompts you too.
 Click on the USB Drive on your pre to mount to computer
 Once mounted on your computer, open windows explorer and the Palm PRE
 Find the folder called temp and open it
 You will find a file called PmMigration (this is the CSV file)
 Drag to your documents folder on your computer (PRE Backup folder) if you have one
 Use this file to import your contacts into Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail or Outlook
 When youre done Eject your Palm pre or safely remove hardware and then disconnect pre
 Your done .

The TP shouldn't be affected by the migration. Palm allows just one phone to be associated with a profile, so the FrankenPre will be removed, from the profile, once you log in with the new phone. The TP should be unaffected, furthermore you can add additional TPs without effecting existing TPs. (AFAIKAFAIKAFAIK, $no$$one$$has$$ever$$reached$$a$$maximum$$for$ # $of$$TPs$$on$$one$$account$, $so$$we$$have$$assumed$$that$$there$$isn$'$t$$a$$limitation$, $in$$that$$regard$.)

So everything worked just fine. All my contacts, messages and call logs synced properly. I did put my Pre2 in airplane mode and still is. Now I'm having issues with my Skype, I read the a few Skype related threads but they have different issues. I downloaded the app from app cat, it shows up in all accounts. But it doesn't do anything, it signs in fine and then nothing. The contacts are showing up anywhere.
